kill a detective

Yoshino Junpei has a strong sense of loneliness.

When I was in the virtual circle, Kaoru Nishikujo often lay on the white desert and looked at the moon.The moon in the virtual circle is not a real moon, she tries to ignore this, pretending that it is real, and she is just traveling alone in a corner of the earth.

Of course she is not human anymore, but she is also different from other virtuals.Because no avatar has a humanoid form like her.But a fake is a fake after all, just like the moon in a virtual circle cannot become real, she cannot become a real person again.

Whenever she realizes this, Kaoru Nishikujo will be very lonely.

She saw the same loneliness in Yoshino Junpei.That is a disidentification of self-identity, of being human.

Don't let this child go astray, she said to herself, she must bring him back to the world.

It is Oda Sakunosuke who is in charge of cooking dinner at home today. It is said that he and Curacao learned their cooking skills from neighbor Aaron. Kaoru Nishikujo has tasted it a few times, and the taste is very good, and he is getting better and better.

The family sat around the table, Kaoru Nishikujo introduced Junpei Yoshino to them, and everyone toasted to the new friends they met.Minors are required to drink fruit juice.

Yoshino Junpei was a bit cautious at first, but under the enthusiastic and innocent care of the children, he gradually let go of himself. Kaoru Nishikujo chatted with him about his favorite movies, and highly affirmed Junpei's art appreciation ability.

"It's rare for a child of your age to have such an outstanding artistic vision..." It's not just about hunting novelty and loving horror, but he can really taste some things from unpopular niche movies.

Probably because he was rarely praised and affirmed straightforwardly, Yoshino Junpei lowered his eyes and blushed slightly.

"My little ghosts are going to school soon. It's their first time going to school. It would be nice if they can be like Yoshino-kun and make people less worried."

After quitting the port mafia, Sakunosuke Oda became more and more like a good father. This look of worrying about his son is touching and funny.Xingjie, who had already started the after-dinner game, took time out of his busy schedule and yelled: "Stop talking nonsense, who will worry you!"

"Xingsuke, don't take your younger siblings to fight in the living room—" Curacao, who was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, poked his head out and instructed.

It's not good, why even she is becoming more and more like a father girl.

Looking at the children, Yoshino Junpei asked hesitantly, "...haven't they gone to school yet?"

The eldest Xingsuke is already eight or nine years old, which is a bit strange and hasn't been to school yet.

"Our family's situation is a bit special. Let's pretend that Junpei didn't have time to send them to school. Compared to that, I'm more worried about what to do if the children encounter bullying at school—school bullying in Japan is really serious Ah, the kids are inexperienced..."

When talking about this topic, Kaoru Nishikujo noticed the sudden stiff expression on Yoshino Junpei's face.

Thinking of Kosuke's temper, Oda Sakunosuke was worried: "It would be good if the kid didn't bully others."

"No," Curacao, who had cleaned up, also joined the conversation, "Xingsuke's heart is very gentle, he would not do such a thing. As for if someone wants to bully him - just find a way to deal with it quietly gone."

... Please don't imitate Mr. Aaron's way of speaking, it's scary!

"What if he refuses to tell us? There will be children like that, because they are too kind and soft, and they can't bear the worries and concerns of their families, and they keep everything in their hearts...It will be bad if you hold it like this, right, Junpei classmate? "

Suddenly being called, Yoshino Junpei was startled, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground without holding it tightly, and rolled around twice.

"Yes, sorry!"

"It's okay, Junpei-san. You're a good boy, there's no need to apologize." Kaoru Nishikujo grabbed his hand to pick up the cup, and said softly.

Yoshino Junpei stayed at Kaoru Nishikujo's apartment at night.The former pushed back and forth, and agreed to stay for the night because he couldn't resist. After breakfast the next day, Kaoru Nishikujo said, "Send him home", but the direction of the car was more and more deviated to the outskirts of Tokyo.

The noise from both ends of the field of vision drifted away like the wind, and Yoshino Junpei lowered his head and whispered, "Nishi-Miss Nishikujo...it's not this way."

Of course there was no response.

In the scenery of leaping backwards all the way, he thought endlessly: Are you going to be sold? People like me are not worth much even if they are sold. The woman next to me is obviously a gangster with a gun. Why? Do you think she can be trusted?In the final analysis, it is self-inflicted, as expected, only Mr. Zhenren...

Finally, the car stopped in the countryside, which was close to the border of Yokohama.Yoshino Junpei got out of the car, and Kaoru Nishikujo looked around after setting up an awning, and said to him, "This is right here. If Junpei doesn't want to go to school, come and help me with my work."

Kaoru's job?

Yoshino Junpei is not a fool, he can see the unusual identities of Kaoru Nishikujo, including the other two adults he saw last night, but in his opinion, the work of the mafia is nothing more than robbery and murder. What can he do to help?

"A qualified mafia organization is one that can do any job and accept any commission." Saying this, Yoshino Junpei was pushed by her to the villagers waiting at the intersection, and began the life of a farmer for one, two, three, four days.

One day he helps the owner harvest wheat, the next day he finds cattle for the west family, and the day after tomorrow a four or five-year-old boy from the north family asks him to help write a love letter, and in the afternoon he is invited by his little lover to read it.Yoshino Junpei was in the limelight for a while, and became a big hit in the small village.

During this period, Kaoru Nishikujo would eat watermelon on the verandah of each family. Every time Yoshino Junpei passed by, he would see her enthusiastically raising her arms and shouting at him: "Good morning, noon and evening, Junpei!"

What, I also want to eat watermelon.

On the night of the fourth day, the cursed spirit attacked the village.Yoshino Junpei hugged the love letter and fell to the side of the road trembling.The little boy who couldn't see the mantra raised his innocent face and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" The mantra was covered with green moss and approached like a frog, but Yoshino Junpei couldn't even call for help.

Can anyone help me?It's like being bullied... It's useless to ask for help... But today there are people around who don't want him to be hurt... What should I do?

"Have power to protect the people you want to protect."

Under the faint moonlight, Kaoru Xikutiao gently landed in front of her with a slender cold knife, and the curse spirit was blown to ashes. She stretched out a hand to him: "Let's go, go home."

It takes strength to protect those you want to protect.

So is it right to go to Mr. Reality?Yoshino Junpei felt that this was not the case.

I still couldn't go back to Tokyo the next day.Kaoru Nishikujo took him to Yokohama, and threw him in front of a red-haired boy.

The red-haired boy looked younger than him, but exuded a menacing aura.

"You can't see anyone all day long, what do you want to do?"

Kaoru Nishikujo patted Junpei Yoshino on the shoulder cheerfully: "It's not this kid, but the school assigned a composition - the day of the person I admire the most, and I want to write Master Gravity anyway, so I have no choice but to help Help him."

No, I didn't... Yoshino Junpei wanted to stop it, but the corner of Kaoru Nishikujo's clothes slipped out of her hands, and she jumped in front of the red-haired boy with a smile on her face: "Please help me, too!" Even the honorific title is omitted.

Zhongyuan Zhong also wanted to refuse, but Nishikujo Kaoru had already turned around: "He agreed! Come and thank Master Gravity!"

"...Thank you." The two words were said with humiliation.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

One day Yoshino Junpei saw a different mafia than he imagined.In the rumored Rush, it seems that the cadre's red-haired boy rushed to the front, surrounded by black and red light, like an immortal sun.When the stray bullet almost hurt him, the red-haired boy protected him behind him, and gently lowered the brim of his hat: "Since that woman handed you over to me, I can't let you get hurt."

When the battle was over, he went to comfort his wounded men.His face is always pale, showing some impatience, but he must be a gentle and good person, Yoshino Junpei thought.

The ocher-haired boy was even gentler than he had imagined.Leaving the mafia building, the boy chatted with him word by word. The two had nothing in common, but he listened carefully to what Yoshino Junpei said word by word.

Passing store owners would even call his name and send them packaged goods as a thank you for helping with the emergency delivery last time.

After dinner, Nakahara sent him back to Kaoru Nishikujo.

"I knew that Chuya-kun would protect Junpei well."

The boy "cut", "Remember to buy me a drink."

"Next time -"

Yoshino Junpei didn't know what Kaoru Nishikujo did these past few days, and he wouldn't tell her if he asked her. He vaguely understood, but didn't seem to fully understand.

What even he didn't realize was that a smile was slowly appearing more and more on the corners of his mouth.The young man who never expresses his thoughts will also say to Kaoru Nishikujo when he is looking at his mobile phone: "Miss Kaoru, I want to become stronger."

The woman staring at the phone in a daze took a few seconds to come back to her senses: "Oh, of course that's good, I'll help you."

Yoshino Junpei was a little absent-minded when he saw her for the first time, and felt curious. "What is Miss Xun looking at?"

Kaoru Nishikujo immediately restrained his expression, and nodded his forehead with a straight face: "Kids don't mind adults' business."

"Okay." Yoshino Junpei held his head and couldn't admit his mistake more perfunctorily.

This kid is getting more and more presumptuous in front of her, Kaoru Nishikujo thought depressingly.

"I'm a vicious mafia. Fear me a little more, brat!"

"Okay, I'm getting scared." Yoshino Junpei opened the car door and walked down, smiling and waving to her: "See you tomorrow, Ms. Kaoru." The tone was full of expectation.

"See you tomorrow." She also smiled.

Watching Yoshino Junpei walk into the house, Nishikujo Kaoru slowly leaned back on the back of the driver's seat, turned on the phone and stared at the text message he just received.

[Xiao Xun, I miss you so much]

It seemed that he realized that he had said something wrong, and he hurriedly explained it with several new text messages.

[Sorry, I'm a little drunk, please don't mind me]

[Please act as if you didn’t see it]

[Or, I mean, a friend sent a new bottle of spaghetti sauce, which was just mailed back from abroad. Doesn’t Xiaoxun like this very much?Want to come to my house and try it? ]

[If you don't want to come, I can send the sauce to Kaoru]

Kaoru Nishikujo threw the phone aside and opened the car window. The summer night wind blew only a little bit of coolness, and the rest was dull.No one passed by on this street, one or two barks of dogs sounded in the deep alley, and the screen of the mobile phone beside me in the quietness twinkled like a star in the dark.
